  IT'S YOUR PARTY BUT I'll DIE IF I WANT TO
  
  The other day, as we were parking in a crowded D.C. garage, I received a text message from Miss Doris simply noting the fact that I had not posted in quite some time (and also hinting at the saddening reality that she knows me a little bit less now than she used to because I haven't kept up with regular posts).  I suppose that's what happens when one stops blogging. 
  
  I'm not really certain what's come over me.  I didn't really mean to stop. 
  
  I can think of three possible reasons for my absence:
  

  • One.  I've started to write a book.  So, instead of going to my blog every day to write, I've been organizing my thoughts and gathering ideas for something that I think will be a lot of fun upon completion.  I'm not really sure what it will look like when I'm done, but I've already got the marketing element down pat.  The title and cover should sell the thing no matter what's inside. 
    
    
  • Two.  I've been busy.  Like extremely busy.  For those of you who don't know, I will be returning to the classroom to teach jr. high for the remainder of this school year (second semester).  This has meant a lot of cramming and craziness to finish up my big development jobs sooner rather than later so I can be as dedicated as possible to the task of running a classroom again.  Not to mention, I've moved, and I got a dog!
    
    
  • Three.  I'm angry at Xanga.

  It's a new year.  I can't believe I'm so behind on life that I've not even done my yearly review of goals.  But it's also 1:34 a.m., and I just got home from a week in D.C.  So, really it's about 4:34 a.m. to me right now, and I'm beyond exhausted. 
  
  But for you, Doris, I posted.  And I shall post again in the near future.
  Church tomorrow.  Hasta.
  
  P.S. I just started listening to Los Campesinos! finally.  And, of course, like always, I wonder what took me so long.
  
  P.P.S. The Robinson book is amazing.
